Description:
Hallo!

Please compare with
Bug 502: Bad title error condition produces some silly links

If you open
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charset.js&diff&oldid=35293962
you get the imprression that the summary of this bug should be
"[[Error]] is generated in the main namespace - this should be a dummy special page"

But if you take a closer look you will see that the url's generated by the tabs
are pointing somewhere else.

There are more posibilities to fix this:
a) the displayed header (header text) should be somethink like
{{MediaWiki:Error}} {{MediaWiki:At}} {{FULLPAGENAME}}
Note that [[MediaWiki:Error]] exists bit [[MediaWiki:At]] does not.
b) create a dummy special page for error conditions (which should not be
included / visible at [[special:Specialpages]].

Your URL is in article namespace, so it's not too surprising the links are too.
If you change the URL to another namespace, they change to follow.

Resolving INVALID.
